Women's Necklace Sizes

For women, 14" sits as a tight choker, 16" rests at the collar (the most popular length), 17" falls at the collarbone for everyday wear, and 18" drapes slightly lower for a relaxed look. Men typically choose 18" for a collar fit, 20" for standard positioning (the most common size), 22" for a more relaxed style, or 24" for a statement length. To find your perfect fit, wrap a soft ribbon or non-elastic string around your neck and note where it naturally falls—keep in mind that your neck circumference and the weight of any charms or pendants will affect how the chain drapes, both on its own and when layered with other pieces.
